Media Prize Development Policy
The Development Policy Media Prize was founded in 1975 by Egon Bahr in his role as Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and honors journalistic work that "promotes the German public's awareness of the need for partnership between industrialized and developing countries".
The award is given annually. Usually four to five prizes are awarded - in the categories of print, radio, television and internet. The prize is endowed with a total of 15,000 euros, which will be divided among the winners.
The jury, which decides on the respective award recipients, has five members, one of whom is appointed by the Office of the Federal President and one by the BMZ . The three other members of the jury are nominated by journalists' organizations, broadcasters and social organizations.
In 2013 the price was realigned. The development policy media prize is now called the “ German Development Policy Media Prize ” and is awarded jointly by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and Deutsche Welle (DW). The award is now aimed at journalists from Africa, Asia, the Middle East / North Africa, Latin America, Eastern Europe and Germany.
